Is this possible? I would really like to improve my xfce and I would love to see the xubuntu font settings aesthetic on my gentoo xfce basic desktop. Could someone please outline the steps that this could be achieved?

-make sure 'cairo' is in your global USE, if indeed you want to use cairo
-tick off the fonts you want via 'eselect fontconfig'
-emerging lxappearance aint a bad idea for graphically setting the default font for apps that use its requisite settings

Infinality's rendering is better than Ubuntu's, and more configurable.

I wouldn't really like wasting time on fonts atm. I just need something that looks good out of the box. I don't really need just the ubuntu fonts, In fact, I would rather have the droid fonts which are used on Xubuntu by default and they are configured quite awesomely imo. I had a look on Archwiki and it seems that there is some sort of patching required in order for the fonts to have the same effect on other distros?

I recommend to add the infinality overlay and install the packages in there. Infinality has some good default sets, so it doesn't need much configuration to set up. Tho you can configure it in much detail if you want to._________________"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln

I tried Infinality in the past and I wasn't very pleased with the results. I simply want to achieve the same results as you get on Xubuntu 11.10..
